What is Russia for you? Ally, enemy or just neighbor?

Update. This poll is broken. Take the poll at my new entry in this community    Dear members of great TALK_POLITICS community. As you know Mother Russia regained her lost political clout and now every country has to reckon with her. This was mostly due dominant leadership of prime-president Putin over second hand president Medvedev. Until recently

No, I don't know since that didn't happen. Last I checked Russia had a fucked up government full of weird guys I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw a tank, a seriously messed up infrastructure, a seemingly endless supply of crazed Nashi supporters and that most of the people in the rest of the world STILL don't care all that much about what happens there.

O, really?
How did you checked Russia? I don't think everybody is member of Nashi.
Anyway, it is time to go sleep for me.
Take part in the poll, buddy

I tried to do the poll and it wouldn't let me. And I read the news same as most people here. Also, I didn't say everyone in Russia is Nashi. I said that it seems like there are a lot of Nashi on LJ.

Honestly, the idea that Russia has her political clout back is just... no. It's like saying that Britain is just as relevant now as it was during the Empire. The pole has shifted to China. Russia should recognize that.

Not to mention that China is practically buying off the entire eastern portion of Russia.
